Ok, if this is a rabbit then its a dog sized rabbit at that. see the leaves in the background, now can you see the real size?

Im not sure what it is, but i know its not your everyday rabbit. that would be a GIANT rabbit. the bricks are concrete, that prey item is about the size of a medium sized dog. Looks like it might be a juvenile europeon wild boar, and it vaguely resembles a capybara.

You'de be surprised on the size some rabbits can get. A Flemish Giant Rabbit (female) can weigh more than 14lbs (good snacking size that would make) and the Giant Chinchilla rabbit can hit a max of 16lbs.
But I still think this looks like a Belgian hare
The "feet" are the right shape the colour is exact and the undertail is also the right colour.

What kind of leaves are in the background I can't tell because they look dried up.

hey ginnette, you may have something there.
The color is exactly the same, even under the tail.
the leaves at the bottom of the pic are Italian Cypress clippings, or Juniper clippings if you ask me. Ive had to rake up enough of them in my life.
Cant tell about the other leaves, but the clippings when compared to the Burm, make it a not very big snake, but still a huge meal. You may be right.
Whats the prize if we guess it right? thats what I want to know. LOL
